i can’t do hobbies without feeling bad.

if this spreads to general renting i will finally be forced to buy a house

Thanks @brightwalldarkroom.com for sharing this one again. 🖤

Condolences to the faculty and students being asked to come up with individual solutions to the structural problem of admin having outsourced higher ed to for-profit, PE-owned third-party tech companies

it was warm enough today in Fairbanks to not even wear a coat or even a sweatshirt, so i think i am actually alive after all. i’m thawing. what’s going on in the world? oh. fuck.

"for unknown reasons, my mortal enemies appear to be concerned with the core essence of humanity in a way that my allies are not. oh well, better not think about it too hard."

I’m going to California for a short residency in a few days and it’s going to be so hot. I can’t wait. I’m so tired of this miserable winter.

counted 25 ICE officers (most with ERO vests) during my 26-minute wait in the LGA Terminal C Touchless line this morning. every one of them was either standing doing nothing or slowly walking the length of the line doing nothing. at least four were in masks.

i have to fly very soon, and this situation is upsetting, to say the absolute least

your moment of calm

the new Mitski vinyl came with this cut out furniture and stickers all these cute little details 😭 I love her so much

you know I'm still afraid I'm still crazy and I'm still scared but if I make it to the stage I'll show you what it means to be spared

Look the feed made a poem

Here Are My Black Clothes by Louise Glück

this country seems very committed to the deaths of schoolchildren

what?

Eco: “I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.” Magibook:

Hill House was crazy. It sat on a hill. The lights were off. It will probably still be there in eighty years."

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times" "Chat, we were based, and chopped"

i bet this shit sounds magical if you're fucking stupid

rewatched Edward Scissorhands and managed not to cry but only bc there was someone sitting next to me

The sole promise of using LLM's in war is that no human will face a firing squad for the atrocities the machine commits.

We are STILL in a government shutdown‼️ They’re not getting paid so those airport lines are only going to get longer.

It's hard times for the digital media-sphere.

this is the first AWP I have missed in many years. I have been to every AWP since NYC 2008 except one. so I’m gonna check this out. I think I signed up to read correctly. lol.

rewatched Flashdance last night for the first time in many years and it is in fact a tragedy

probably posted before but posting again also I will NOT be at #AWP youtu.be/zQu2Q8M4ETk?...

One of my favourite sides of politics/media.

dearest heart, love of my life, whom i ignored to write a few emails

I can’t even handle the stupidity of the quote being responded to here. When I read it in my head the voice resembles that of Ted’s in Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure.

Rolling Stone’s CT Jones writes about The Perfect Neighbor, nominated for Best Documentary Feature Film. The Netflix doc explores the 2023 death of Ajike Owens and the laws that continue to wreak havoc in U.S. neighborhoods. #Oscars

#expedition33 is so beautiful. its landscapes are still wowing me after months of playing. will be bummed to end it, which is rare for me. I usually lose interest before the end.

This week @jamellebouie.net had some questions for me about where the US is at now and why the term "concentration camp" might be a useful way to think about the crisis. (He interviewed me eight years ago for Slate on a similar topic. Let's hope we don't end up having the same discussion in 2034.)

Hey! Scholars! If you're using someone's work in your class, sometimes it's nice to email them and tell them, because then they might feel good about their research instead of entirely crushed by the academic humanities' ongoing descent into the grave

they’re all liars. they straight-up pretend they don’t know how fucked up everything on that show was. did anyone else watch this yet.

they all kept saying “it was a different time!” like it was 1905 and not 2005

trying to sleep after watching all 3 hours of the ANTM doc in one shot this evening

Throwback to this gem

feminist discourse is so interesting when it's between women and about who u can really trust

If you don’t read old stuff you’ll never discover that people in the olden days had the same thoughts and feelings and dreams and anxieties you do, sometimes articulated differently, sometimes exactly the same way. You are never truly alone in anything and old writings are a neon sign telling you so

A 920,000-sq-ft warehouse in south KC could detain up to 8,000 people. Port KC says that’s not what it signed up for and has now cut ties with the developer, citing misalignment and poor communication. www.kmbc.com/article/port...

well, there’s a new Mitski coming. that’s helpful

This is the 38th time that the U.S. military has unlawfully killed civilians on the orders of Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump. At least 130 people — never charged with crimes, their identities unknown to their executioners — are now dead.
